DEAD FUCKING ISLAND

[ROFLCOCKTOR]

THIS TRAILER MADE ME CRY

[saucy ragu]

An emotional zombie video game trailer? I haven't been hyped on a video game in years. What system is it for?

[landCow]

thats an impressive little trailer but whats the actual game?

[ROFLCOCKTOR]

pc 360 ps3

from what i understand, its a sandbox first person RPG-ish STYLE, with heavy reliance on melee comabt and taking advantage of whatevers available. Also its more survival oriented as your expected to run from hordes of zombies instead of plow thru them with a chainsaw. Theres small bands of survivors who can either be friends or foes, as well as 4 player drop in/out co op.

Maybe think Fallout; Zombie Apocalypse? not sure


SO FUCKING STOKED.

looks so sick

a friend at work said nothing more than "the trailer is the best trailer for anything I've ever seen"

He was not lying

want to learn more about it

[Donkey Lips]

Holy shit. The trailer was amazing. I'm with saucy on this - haven't been this excited to hear about a game in a while.

not getting hyped for this until i see gameplay footage.

For real. THey had that DC Comics video game trailer that was epic as hell and the actually game looks like ass.

I can see Dead Island just being some simple cartoon looking 3rd person game. Hopefully they come correct.

DC Online Universe??? That game's visuals are solid!

And amazing trailer. Glad I saw this first here on slap.

From the 6-8 screenshots they've released so far, it looks grim as fuck. I was wondering how they were going to make a beach resort/tropical island have some sort of creepy atmosphere.

I'm bummed about the first person view though. I don't know why but I never like first person views in a game. Especially a shooting game. Makes me feel like I have tunnel vision. Hope they make it like Fallout 3, where you can just step back behind the character.

melee combat and fps don't mix well. neither do zombie games and fps either

i think left4dead works well, but that's a valve game. i don't really have high hope for this one.

I don't know if you guys ever played this game:



It was FPS, George A. Romero slow zombies, and tons of Melee and it was fucking awesome albeit linear.

If they could pull this off in Dead Island but have an open area (GTA/Oblivion style gameplay) I could see this game being really good.

But yea I'm with max, gameplay footage or screens or GTFO, I hate when developers hype theri games with trailers that have no correlation to gameplay.

idk ive always been a huge resident evil fan so i feel thats the way they need to go. when that resident evil 4 player co-op game came out i was so psyched but it kind of sucked so hopefully this is better than that

With you on that. I always wanted a Resident Evil 2 styled game with online play. It'd be fun to explore an entire city and just occasionally run into other player. I was hoping to set traps and ambush other players if I wanted to. I'm a dickhead. RE5 had the whole co-op element, but it was all action oriented and I wasn't into that.

Hope Dead Island is more survival horror based and follows a storyline, but borrows game mechanics from Fallout 3. By the way it's been explained so far, they're really taking their time on it and trying to craft something that isn't as campy and funny as Dead Rising, but something that's gripping and exciting to play.

It's video game nerds, nerding the fuck out about a video game. Never would have thunk it.

^ my friends mom was a zombie in that flick

Word is that the preview was received positively. I still don't like the mechanics of a first person zombie-melee game. First person games are such a pain in the ass to judge depth perception, so it's hard to see what would be close enough to swing at and what is too far away. I really hope you can zoom out for a third person view.
